dreams of grandeur

I've had dreams of grandeur
Grand castles built on shifting sand
Promises of kingdoms at my feet
And instead my heart at yours.
I've had vivid dreams of arch's and spaces
Great hallways and halls lined with the things I desire
Instead,you,dear world saw it fit to to give me picture less frames
To give me empty bowls to fill me up
A tea cup of water to cleanse my soiled conscience.
I had dreams of grandeur...
Solid,rich ,delicious visions of what I thought I knew I wanted
Of what I knew I thought I needed
Now they sit at the bottom of this murky pool
Glorious and glowing,
Inviting me in with no way to reach them.
Nothing to bait them but what I thought I had known I wanted.
